As if you had to justify your right to carry a firearm for self defense, CNN reports:
A group of as many as 15 youths punched, kicked and jumped on McClain after he honked for them to move out of the street, witnesses said.And yes, I do think that shooting a 14 to 16 year old "child" is justified under these circumstances. And you probably don't have to shoot too many of them before they think twice about thug violence.

I wish that would have happened to me. With 15 of them I could have practiced a tactical reload.
I hope this wakes up WI liberals who are against the CCW law. But I'm a realist, they will portray these 15 kids as victims of budget cuts from our President. This man was beaten to near death because of Bush.
Posted by: Derek at December 30, 2005 9:14 AMYou know, last year someone travelling through Milwaukee had to unconceal his carry to stop a robbery attempt not too far from this incident. Oddly enough, he never was in critical condition after the incident.

Posted by: Derek at December 30, 2005 10:51 AMI lived two blocks down from Jeffrey Dahmer while going to school there (no lie!). That city is in dire need of concealed carry. I cannot believe I made it out of there alive. Stories like that one were not too uncommon. I know of at least two or three that occured while I was there.
Posted by: shooter at December 30, 2005 10:53 AMThose little vermin did quite a number on the guy; as far as I am concerned, they should be charged with attempted murder, since they could have easily killed him.
Posted by: BobG at December 30, 2005 5:16 PMI think that he would have been charged if he had been armed and shot one of them before giving a warning or at least brandishing his weapon. Not that they don't deserve it, but if he was the first to introduce a weapon into the "fracas", the law would side with the kids. That's not a professional opinion, of course, just common sense.
The guy would not have been wrong, just vulnerable to prosecutorial zealotry if he did not try to withdraw once he pulled a weapon.
If he had a gun there would be a few less of these scum to mess up the city
